hemodynamically significant or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia;
a first-degree relative who has had sudden cardiac death;
one or more recent, unexplained episodes of syncope;
a maximum left ventricular wall thickness ≥30 mm;
or an abnormal blood pressure response to exercise in the presence of other sudden death risk factors or modifiers;
and in high-risk children with unexplained syncope, massive left ventricular hypertrophy, or family history of sudden cardiac death
most frequent coronary artery anomaly associated with s den cardiac death
anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery syndrome
